  US losing war in Afghanistan, Pak tribal region: Aslam Baig
  ISLAMABAD: Former Army Chief General (rtd) Mirza Aslam Baigg says United States has ``almost lost its war in Afghanistan and Pakistan tribal region and soon will leave with empty hands.’’ Talking to Iran’s Irna news agency here, he said it has become ``very difficult for U.S. to sustain pressure of local armed groups who have been giving tough time to U.S.-led forces in Afghanistan and Pakistan tribal area.’’
General Beg contended that a conspiracy is being hatched to destabilize Pakistan. ``Our own soil is being used against our country.” Intelligence agencies of US-led coalition forces in Afghanistan are ``working against interests of Pakistan, China and Russia,’’ he maintained. ``Now question is that how Pakistan will look into the matter, there is need to expose conspiracies of enemies?.’’ He said what is happening at borders of Iran, Pakistan and Afghanistan is only because of U.S. interference. “U.S. doesn’t want to see peace in the area.” According to him new government in Pakistan is trying to take back its control over tribal area, which is not acceptable to U.S. Innocent people are being killed in tribal area because of U.S. aggressive policies. U.S. is also providing training facilities to people of Jundallah, in Baluchistan so that they could create unrest in the area and affect Iran-Pak relations.—Agencies
